I just bought this today and couldnt wait to use it.
The things that prompted me to purchase this blender were...
 1. The watts are 1200.so you Get plenty of power to do what you want.
2. The jar base is very wide where the blades are.so your dhake isnt stalled just sitting dtill not mixing. It blends/ mixes everything.
My first shake, i started light cause we already ate some burgers and i made us some healthy milk shake with them. Milk, ice, spinach,frozen mixed berries,a squirt of a lime and a banana.
Nice and delicious. I plan on making  more and u hope it lasts
